Riajul’s brother Rubel Talukder filed the complaint with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Saddam Hossain. The court after recording the statement of the complainant, asked Jatrabari Police Station to file the matter as first information report.

According to the case documents, hundreds of students and people brought out a procession in support of student-led mass uprising at around 5:00pm on August 4 in front of Jatrabari police station.

Following the direct order of Sheikh Hasina, Awami League goons and police started firing indiscriminately on the procession. Riajul got shot and later succumbed to his injuries.
